THE SEARCH WAS NOT INCIDENT TO ARREST AS THE SUPPRESSION COURT RULED, CASE REMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION OF AN ALTERNATE GROUND FOR A VALID SEARCH WHICH WAS ARGUED BUT NOT RULED UPON BELOW. ​

The First Department determined the seizure of a knife from the defendant was not the result of a valid search incident to arrest. Because the People also argued the seizure was justified for officer safety, but the suppression court did not rule on that issue, the matter was remitted:

Although the record supports a finding that the officer had probable cause to arrest defendant for assault based on reliable information from the assault victim, the People failed to meet their burden … of demonstrating that the officer intended to arrest defendant for the assault at the time he recovered the knife … . The officer’s testimony, viewed as a whole, indicates that, when he noticed the knife upon approaching defendant and retrieved it from defendant’s pocket, the officer’s intent was to inquire about the assault in order to verify that defendant was indeed the man who had assaulted the victim. Further, it was not until after the officer had retrieved the knife and confirmed that it was a gravity knife that he asked about the assault.

The People argue, in the alternative, as they did at the hearing, that the officer’s act of taking the knife from defendant’s pocket, where the handle of the knife and its clip were in plain view, was permissible as a self-protective minimal intrusion … . . However, as the hearing court did not rule on this issue in denying the suppression motion, and therefore did not rule adversely against defendant on this point, we may not reach it on this appeal … . People v Simmons, 2017 NY Slip Op 05179, 1st Dept 6-27-17

 

DEFENDANT DID NOT DEMONSTRATE HE WOULD NOT HAVE PLED GUILTY HAD THE COURT WARNED HIM OF THE DEPORTATION CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLEA.

The First Department determined defendant did not meet his burden of proof on his claim that he would not have pled guilty the court’s failure to warn him of the deportation consequences of the plea:

By pleading guilty, defendant received a lenient disposition, which included a sentence of probation if he complied with all plea conditions. Defendant faced extensive prison terms if convicted after trial of the crimes that led to his 2002 and 2005 pleas, and acquittal of any of those crimes was unlikely. One of the two drug sales involved in the case resulting in the 2002 plea carried a potential life sentence, and the strength of the People’s case regarding those sales was apparent from the felony complaint. The facts set forth in the complaint supported a compelling inference that, in both instances, defendant was a participant in a drug-selling operation. A defense that, on two separate days, defendant did nothing more than innocently direct the undercover buyer to a source of drugs offered little hope of success. Defendant failed to demonstrate that he had significant ties to the United States. The evidence showed that he had a daughter in the Dominican Republic, but no family in the United States, at the time of his 2002 plea. Defendant’s claim of an impending marriage to a United States citizen was undermined by the fact that he did not marry that person, despite ample opportunity to do so long before being incarcerated and deported.

Accordingly, we conclude that defendant failed to establish that he was prejudiced by the court’s failure to warn him of the immigration consequences of his plea at the 2002 proceeding, or by any misleading immigration-related remarks by his counsel at the 2005 proceeding, where defendant again received a lenient disposition involving yet another serious drug charge. People v Corporan, 2017 NY Slip Op 05178, 1st Dept 6-27-17

DAMAGE TO SOIL FROM LEAD EMISSIONS AND LEAD PAINT COULD NOT BE SEPARATED, ALTHOUGH LEAD PAINT DAMAGE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE POLICY EXCLUSION, THE EXCLUSION FOR LEAD EMISSIONS CONTROLLED.

The First Department, in an action seeking reimbursement for environmental cleanup costs, determined the policy exclusion from coverage of lead emissions controlled, even though the soil was also contaminated with lead paint, which was not excluded from coverage:

​

In this case, not only did the damage result from different sources, i.e., lead emissions and lead paint, but, also, one source is excluded from coverage and the other is not. However, the damage resulting from either source is not readily divisible from the damage resulting from the other. The combined effect of the lead emissions and the lead paint was soil contamination – of the same soil. To the extent a particular area was contaminated solely by lead paint, it was not (and could not have been) included in the EPA’s remediation efforts (see 42 USC § 9604). Moreover, claimant would not have had to pay for any damage – including lead paint damage – if not for the accompanying pollution (see 42 USC § 9607). Thus, the entire claim is barred by the pollution exclusions. Matter of Midland Ins. Co., 2017 NY Slip Op 05171, 1st Dept 6-22-17

MOTHER’S PETITION TO RELOCATE TO FLORIDA PROPERLY DENIED, INSUFFICIENT SHOWING THE MOVE WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD.

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Kapnick, concluded Family Court properly denied mother’s petition to relocate to Florida. Mother was not sure where she would live or work or how child care would be arranged. It did not appear father would be able to visit the child in Florida. The fact that father was behind in child support was not enough to show the relocation would be in the best interests of the child. Matter of Salena S. v Ahmad G., 2017 NY Slip Op 05172, 1st Dept 6-22-17

DEFENDANT EXPRESSLY DENIED THE INTENT ELEMENT OF UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A WEAPON DURING THE PLEA COLLOQUY, THE JUDGE DID NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE ISSUE, CONVICTION REVERSED DESPITE FAILURE TO PRESERVE THE ERROR.

The First Department, reversing defendant’s conviction by guilty plea, in the absence of preservation of the error, determined the plea colloquy negated an essential element of the crime. Unlawful possession of a weapon requires an intent to use the weapon unlawfully. Although such intent can be presumed, here defendant expressly negated it:

​

This is a “rare case” where the preservation requirement for challenges to guilty pleas does not apply because “defendant’s factual recitation negate[d] an essential element of the crime pleaded to” and the court “accept[ed] the plea without making further inquiry to ensure that defendant underst[ood] the nature of the charge and that the plea [was] intelligently entered” .. . The crime of attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree requires that a defendant intend to use the weapon unlawfully against another. However, during the plea colloquy, defendant explicitly, repeatedly and consistently denied any intent to use the weapon against anyone, lawfully or otherwise, at the time the police recovered it or at any other time. The court asked followup questions, but they were ineffectual because defendant’s responses only reconfirmed that he expressly denied having the requisite intent. Although an express admission of unlawful intent may not have been necessary in the first place, particularly because such intent is presumed (see Penal Law § 265.15[4]), defendant expressly negated that intent. People v Medina-Feliz, 2017 NY Slip Op 05053, 1st Dept 6-20-17

MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY OF INFORMATION POSTED ON FACEBOOK SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the defendant city was entitled to compel discovery of plaintiff’s Facebook posts in this wrongful arrest and prosecution action. The Facebook information tended to show the use of an alias by plaintiff (Moe), which plaintiff had denied, and included a photograph of plaintiff’s nephew who was present at the premises where the search warrant was executed:

​

… [T]he City made a threshold showing that examination of the above Facebook accounts will result in the disclosure of relevant evidence bearing on the claim… . As such, plaintiff is directed to review and provide or permit access to those Facebook and associated Messenger accounts, including their messenger components, and any deleted materials which contain any information connecting plaintiff to the accounts in question, connecting him to any variation of the nickname “Moe,” or relevant to his claims that he has had no connection to the apartment searched or the contraband located thereat. Plaintiff shall also provide an authorization permitting Facebook to release the photograph purported to be of plaintiff’s nephew, including any metadata associated with the photograph. Production shall be made within 30 days of this order and it is without prejudice to plaintiff seeking, prior to the expiration of the 30-day period, a protective order for expressly identified materials on these Facebook accounts seeking protection from discovery for reasons other than relevancy. Flowers v City of New York, 2017 NY Slip Op 05040, 1st Dept 6-20-17

THE JURY COULD HAVE REASONABLY FOUND PLAINTIFF’S REGULAR USE OF THE UNLIGHTED SUBWAY STAIRWAY WAS NOT NEGLIGENT, PLAINTIFF’S VERDICT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the plaintiff’s verdict against the transit authority in this slip and fall case should not have been set aside. Plaintiff regularly used the unlighted subway stairway when he returned from work without incident. The jury, therefore, could reasonably have found plaintiff’s use of the unlighted stairway was not negligent:

​

In this action for personal injuries, plaintiff alleges that he fell while descending a covered and unlit exterior subway staircase owned by defendant. The jury found that defendant was negligent in its maintenance of the lighting on the staircase, that defendant’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff’s injuries’, and that plaintiff was not negligent.

The trial court erred in setting aside as against the weight of the evidence the jury’s finding that plaintiff was not negligent … . Although plaintiff conceded that he descended an unlighted staircase, the jury could reasonably have concluded that his decision to do so was not negligent, as plaintiff testified that he used the same staircase every night while coming home from work, and had in fact done so without incident on previous evenings when the lights were inoperative. Sanchez v New York City Tr.

EXPERT AFFIDAVIT SUFFICIENT TO RAISE A QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER THE SCHOOL NURSE’S FAILURE TO TELL PLAINTIFF TO REMOVE A CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE WAS A PROXIMATE CAUSE OF BLOOD CLOTS AND SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE.

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Manzanet-Daniels, over a two-justice dissenting opinion by Justice Andrias, determined plaintiff’s expert affidavit was sufficient to raise a question of fact whether the school nurse’s failure to tell plaintiff to remove a contraceptive device (NuvaRing) was a proximate cause of blood clots which resulted in severe brain damage. The dissent argued plaintiff’s expert affidavit was conclusory and speculative, insufficient to defeat defendant’s expert’s opinion that removing the NuvaRing would not have prevented the blood clots which occurred seven days after plaintiff complained to the nurse practitioner about chest pains:

​

Montefiore [the defendant which employed the nurse practitioner at the school clinic] made a prima facie case through its expert, Dr. Bardack, that it was not the proximate cause of plaintiff’s injuries … . In opposition, plaintiff’s expert raised an issue of fact concerning causation. We disagree with the dissent that the affidavit of Dr. Gold was speculative and conclusory. Dr. Gold specifically opined that if the nurse practitioner had properly assessed plaintiff, instructed her to remove the NuvaRing, and referred her for further assessment, plaintiff’s subsequent injuries and complications would have been avoided. Had the nurse properly assessed plaintiff as suffering from the symptoms of a blood clot, she could have instructed plaintiff to remove the ring immediately, thereby at least beginning to correct any clotting imbalance. As Montefiore’s expert acknowledges, “clot risk is gradually decreased after the ring is removed.” Thus, while the nurse was not in a position to treat clots, she certainly was in a position to make the diagnosis and to direct the plaintiff to remove the likely source of her symptoms, lessening the risk of an adverse outcome.

Montefiore asserts that even if the NuvaRing had been removed on June 1, thromboembolism was nonetheless likely to ensue, relying on FDA guidelines concerning presurgical protocols; Dr. Gold, however, opined that the risk of blood clotting would have subsided had the ring been removed. At this stage, plaintiff’s expert’s affidavit suffices to raise a factual issue as to the element of causation.

It may well be that the medical professionals who subsequently treated plaintiff are also at fault for failing to work her up for thromboembolism and failing to remove or direct her to remove the NuvaRing. Issues of relative culpability await resolution at trial. Plaintiff’s submissions raise an issue of fact as to the liability of the nurse practitioner sufficient to defeat summary judgment. Adams v Pilarte, 2017 NY Slip Op 04913, 1st Dept 6-15-17

THE TOTALITY OF THE RECORD INDICATED DEFENSE COUNSEL WAIVED THE SPEEDY TRIAL RULE, SUPREME COURT REVERSED.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defense counsel waived the speedy trial (CPL 30.30) rule. In response to the prosecutor’s request that the waiver go back to the date of the arraignment, defense counsel stated a preference that the waiver start at the time of the agreement to it, but “if you insist” waiver from arraignment would be acceptable. Supreme Court reasoned that the phrase “if you insist” required further negotiation (which did not take place). The First Department held that, based on the totality of the record, defense counsel agreed to starting the waiver at the time of arraignment:

​

In assessing whether time is properly excluded, a court should look to the totality of the record … . Here, based on a fair reading of the whole record, we conclude that defense counsel expressly waived inclusion of the 52-day period. Central to the court’s reasoning was that the prosecutor “did not insist’ or otherwise respond” after defense counsel wrote “I’d be inclined to waive from today, but if you insist on 1/24 that’s acceptable.” However, in this exchange, “insistence” was not an eventuality that had to be confirmed by further action of the prosecutor, but an already clearly stated position. The prosecutor had already, in her March 16 email, insisted on a waiver of “all 30.30 time,” extending back to the arraignment — requiring such a total waiver as a condition of negotiations. She had explained that if defendant were not willing to waive all 30.30 time, the case would be presented to the current grand jury.

The March 17 email repeated, even more explicitly, the prerequisite — to which defendant had already agreed — that defendant waive speedy trial time going back to January 24. There was no need for the People to again insist on this because they had unequivocally insisted on it from the beginning of the conversation. As a realistic matter, the question whether the People insisted on this was not an open one, and defense counsel did not treat it as unresolved. He “accept[ed]” the waiver running back to the time of arraignment and promised to call the prosecutor the following week to make arrangements for a “presentation to you.” People v Lewins, 2017 NY Slip Op 04908, 1st Dept 6-15-17
